Voted as "One of the best runs in the UK" by Runners World readers you'll want to join us in 2008 for the BUPA Great South Run.

The flat 10-mile course through historic Southsea, is scenic, very manageable and is ideal as a training run. Chip timing around the course allows the more serious to monitor their progress and challenge themselves to improve their Personal Best!

We specialise in treating people with cancer – 40,000 of them each year in fact.

And one of the reasons we're good at it is that we're also world leaders in research, drug trialling and diagnostics. So when a patient comes though our doors, they get the best possible care.

At the Royal Marsden, we're not afraid of cancer. We learn about it, talk about and most of all, use cutting-edge techniques to treat it. We're doing everything we can to help improve our patients' survival rates – whether it's new drug therapies, or better equipment or facilities. But researching and treating cancer is a lifetime's work. And that's why we need your help.

Our race to beat cancer is going to take more than one day. But with your help, after you finish, we will be able to keep on going.

We've 150 bond places to give away – alternatively if you've already got a place then we'd still love to have you in our team.

All our runners receive:

• a fundraising and sponsorship pack, which provides lots of fundraising ideas & handy hints
• that all important t-shirt for the big day
• support from a tireless fundraising team, on hand to offer advice (fundraising is our speciality) every step of the way
• a place to put your bag or rest your feet, we'll have a marquee at the event so will be there ready to look after you on the day
